The vertical video for Different World by Alan Walker featuring Sofia Carson, K-391 and CORSAK has gained more than 1.5 million views since being uploaded on YouTube three days ago only on December 13.

The haunting and thought-provoking song focuses on how humans are destroying this planet, yet it retains a sense of optimism that there is a chance for change, as there is still time left to make a difference.

The debut title track is taken from the Norwegian producer's Different World album, which was released last Friday (December 14), and features an endorphin rush bundled into 15 tracks.

The single was released on November 30, with a lyric video that has surpassed 7 million YouTube views.

The Descendantsstarlet said: "I feel privileged to collaborate with Alan and honored to be the voice of ‘Different World’.

"He is an artist that I admire not only for his incredible talent, but for his heart. Alan Walker, thank you for bravely using your voice to empower this generation to create a different world than the one we are living in.

"To inspire change, and to inspire, above all, HOPE. Here’s to creating a Different World together."

Walker added: "This is the title track from the album. I collaborated with K-391 and CORSAK, who is a Chinese artist and producer you should be on the lookout for.

"This song is very special for me because of its important message, which is something I really wanted to shed some more light on through the release of this single and album, and through the video content to go along with it."

Carson also recently contributed the lead vocals to R3HAB's summer smash hit, Rumors.

Different World has been released by MER and RCA Records.

Lauren Jauregui has spoken about what road she would love to see the hugely successful #metoo global movement take next year.

Speaking to Billboard, she declared: "I would love to see the #MeToo movement become even more inclusive and intersectional.

"I hope to see the divine feminine awakened in men, and for them to start to be self-reflective and do some of their own emotional labor and not depend on women to do that for them, and see that growth, because that will change a lot of things -- men holding each other accountable and responsible for the way that women are treated, and that becoming common sense and common language."

2018 saw the continuation of the #metoo movement as a platform for women to talk about the sexual harrassment and abuse they have suffered.

Jauregui's hope for 2019 would see the actual source of the issue being addressed before it can surface and become a problem.

It’s been over a year since actress Alyssa Milano posted on Twitter: “If you’ve been sexually harassed or assaulted write ‘me too’ as a reply to this tweet.”

Jauregui continues to flourish as a spokeswoman and a source of inspiration for young women worldwide whilst continuing her successful solo career as a profound singer-songwriter.

Lorde has been learning piano for her next album.

The Royals hitmaker released her second record Melodrama, which featured producer Jack Antonoff playing keys in 2017, but the singer has been practicing ahead of her third studio LP.

Opening up to fans in a newsletter this week, Lorde wrote: "I haven't started properly on the next record yet, and I'm not sure how long it'll be...

"But I've been teaching myself how to play piano, and here and there little bits come out.

"I think this next one will probably be born around the piano in my house, me and my friends, keeping it simple...

"But know that for now I'm happy here at home, living quietly and simply, eating toast, going for walks, swimming. And you'll hear all about it soon enough."

Meanwhile, the 22-year-old star also took the opportunity to praise the crowds she performed to on her recent world tour.

Lorde admitted it had been an amazing experience, while thanking her fans for "continuing to change my life, year after year; for living inside the work that I make; for always being ready for what's round the corner".

She added: "I've never felt richer than in those moments with you, all of us heaving to 'Green Light', or singing 'Writer [in the Dark'] together, or 'Supercut'.

"The way you took this record and made it yours will be a highlight of my life forever."

Zayn’s No Candle No Light (ft. Nicki Minaj) moves into the Top 65 at pop radio in its first week of release.

The track was played 193 times during the week beginning November 18.

The song ranks as the Mediabase pop panel’s No. 62 song, which is a massive leap, as the week before it hadn't dented the Top 150.

Co-written by Zayn, No Candle No Light tells the story of couple whose relationship has run its course.

Minaj, one of the most prominent voices in hip-hop today, previously tweeted about the song causing a fan frenzy of anticipation, calling it one of her favorite collaborations.

Earlier this month, Zayn graced the cover of Vogue UK, making him the first male to do so in the history of the magazine.

His upcoming album is the follow up to the critically acclaimed Mind of Mine, released in 2016, which saw him become the first male solo artist in the world to simultaneously chart at No. 1 in the UK & US album charts in the first week of release.

The album's lead single PILLOWTALK hit No. 1 in 68 countries around the world, underlining his status as one of the most important artists of his generation.

The 43-year-old musician and producer is known for working on hits such as Uptown Funk with Bruno Mars, and has said his process for creating tracks is always a collaborative effort, as he likes to "bounce" ideas off of them, rather than sitting down to write by himself.

He said: "My thing is basically purely collaborative because I rarely sit down and write by myself at the piano.

"Usually I'm producing an artist and sometimes you're there to give a lot of the song, sometimes you're there just to help with a few lyrics, be a bouncing board, give a few chords, help finish the next line. I only know that side of it."

Ronson, who has also produced entire albums, including Lady Gaga's 2016 record Joanne and the late Amy Winehouse's Back to Black, insists the "best songs" come from "trying times", and says he thinks it's "lucky" that life always has something in store, because it means there's always something to write about.

He added: "For better or for worse, the best songs come when you're going through a trying time. That's what I find.

"And luckily, life will always find a way to deal you a s**t hand now and then. That's the good thing - the well won't run dry."

The music produder then lamented living through other artists' "horrible, tragic life experiences" as he works with them, especially in the case of Amy Winehouse, who died of alcohol poisoning in 2011.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter for the Songwriter's Roundtable, he said:

"And in that place, whether it's an Amy Winehouse or whoever it is, I get to sort of tap into their well of giant emotion for a little while. And sometimes it's not even fair because I'm going along for the ride on their horrible, tragic life experiences.

"Every new project just rejuvenates me. I'm always getting into someone else's life experience and seeing how that matches up with my own."
